    Dont do what you are doing now. ASKING and not ANSWERING

    Asking guzzles up FIVE full points and you should ask only when you have points to spare. But you get THREE points for picking best answer while the person who gets the best answer get TEN whole points.

    Im not confussing you am I.

    Anywho, many people take their points seriously. Like me. My old account was suspended for something STUPID.All I did was post a picture of someone popping their pimple on Youtube. I was at Level SEVEN DAMMIT!!!! >:O

    The others have answered this , I just want to add - how on earth do you answer if people don't ask ? and why does it cost points to ask , when it should be rewarded for enabling answers ?? something 'off' ' somewhere -

    answer peoples questions. each question you answer you get 2 points. every question you ask, it takes 10 points away from you. you are limited to the number of questions and anwers in a day. when you have a certain amount of points you level up. with each higher of a level, you can ask more questions and answer more questions.
